Industry issues - Agents speak out

How are you finding the new UK visa system?

In our Agents speak out section in the August issue we talk to agents about the new UK visa system. Has the UKBA bitten off more than it can chew? One agent thinks they may have and he notes that while destinations like Canada and New Zealand appreciate how important the education export industry is to their economy, he feels this notion is somewhat lacking in the UK. However, another agent respondent in Nepal reports that the new system seems to be relatively flexible but notes that despite students finding processes simpler, greater clarification is needed.
